Peacock Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hello, A colleague of mine shared some pictures of an interesting rock she found. It was found loose by a creek in the Denver area. It looks to me very much like an inner era, although it may well be something else. None of us are able to positively identify it. I'm sure someone here can confirm whether or not it is a fossil, and what it might be. The creek in question flows from the east, and my understanding is it would have to be a tertiary or quaternary fossil if it is indeed a fossil.

Top Trilo Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi welcome to the forum from Aurora Colorado. I don’t know what that is but If it is bone it does not like modern “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

Peacock Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 @Top Trilo I agree it does not look 'modern', but the locality tells a different story. It is odd. @Mahnmut The ear was our guess but I really have no idea who the original owner was either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
